Levy’s NY Fair 1939-40

From the Levy Collection, this 1939-40 home movie captures the New York World’s Fair through a personal lens. Likely shot in faded color or black-and-white, it features the Trylon and Perisphere, bustling pavilions, and fairgoers, possibly with family moments like picnics or rides. Filmed by the Levy family, it offers an intimate, unpolished view of the fair’s futuristic exhibits and pre-war optimism, preserving a slice of Flushing Meadows history in shaky, nostalgic frames.
